London’s premier contemporary poetry magazine, Poetry London, launches its Summer 2023 issue at Foyles with readings from Jay Bernard and more.

Poetry London’s roots are punk and DIY, born as a listings magazine during the austerity years of the 1980s, seeking to provide an alternative to the mainstream establishment by featuring writers from backgrounds often ignored and sidelined.

The Summer issue launch event will feature readings from Jay Bernard, Ian Duhig, lisa luxx and Christos Koukis, as well as the winner of the Poetry London Pamphlet Prize (to be announced shortly).

Doors will open from 6:45pm.
